Lovense Exomoon vs LELO MIA 3: Which Vibrant Lipstick Vibrator?
The Lovense Exomoon and the LELO MIA 3 belong to the same family: compact lipstick-shaped vibrators designed to fit in a bag or pocket without drawing attention. Lovense presents the Exomoon as a discreet Bluetooth stimulator with a matte black casing, while LELO describes the MIA 3 as a clitoral stimulator with a sculpted tip, waterproof and featuring eight modes. Both brands therefore target the same on-the-go use, but they don’t communicate about the same criteria at all. This comparison puts side by side what each manufacturer’s page states — nothing more: neither product has been tested by us.
What each brand states
| Criterion | Lovense Exomoon | LELO MIA 3 |
|---|---|---|

| Controls | Bronze control button on the casing; product advertised as Bluetooth by Lovense | Two buttons on the device, 8 vibration modes; travel lock |
| App and remote control | Bluetooth connectivity advertised; Lovense points to its app and remote-control features | Not specified (no app or connectivity mentioned on the page) |

| Charging | Not specified | USB rechargeable, up to 2h charge time; 70 mAh 3.7V Li-Ion battery |
| Materials and finish | Matte black casing, bronze button; composition not specified | ABS and body-safe silicone, matte finish; reference to ISO 3533 standard |

Connectivity: where the two pages diverge the most
This is the clearest difference between the two product sheets. Lovense markets the Exomoon under the label “Bluetooth vibrating lipstick” and, on its site, points to its app, remote-control features, and long-distance play. The product page, however, stays light on technical details about this control: it mainly emphasizes the physical button on the front. On LELO’s side, the MIA 3 page mentions neither Bluetooth, nor an app, nor a remote: the advertised interface boils down to two buttons and eight preset modes. For anyone looking for a device a partner can control, even remotely, the Exomoon is the one that fits the bill based on what’s written. For anyone who wants a fully standalone device, with no smartphone or pairing involved, the MIA 3 answers that need exactly.
Technical data: LELO documents, Lovense stays vague
On the level of hard numbers, the two pages aren’t playing in the same league. LELO publishes a full spec sheet for the MIA 3: dimensions (22 x 22 x 111 mm), weight (36 g), 70 mAh Li-Ion battery, charge time up to two hours, battery life advertised up to an hour and a half, standby up to 90 days, a frequency of 130 Hz, noise level advertised under 60 dB, and auto shut-off after twenty minutes. The Exomoon page, on the other hand, gives no dimensions, no weight, no battery life, no charging time: Lovense describes a “light and small” device with vibrations described as powerful, without quantifying them. A buyer who compares numbers before purchasing will therefore find material on the LELO page and will have to settle for qualitative descriptions on Lovense’s. We don’t fill in these gaps: not specified means not specified.
Water, materials, and standards: what only LELO puts in writing
LELO advertises the MIA 3 as 100% waterproof and presents it as usable in the bath or shower, with a lock meant for travel. The brand also specifies the composition — ABS and body-safe silicone, matte finish — and highlights the ISO 3533 international standard on sex toy safety, along with a two-year warranty backed by a ten-year quality guarantee. The Exomoon page says nothing about waterproofing or composition: it describes a matte black casing and a bronze button, with no indication of material or protection rating. On these specific criteria, the documentary edge clearly goes to LELO, and it would be misleading to assume the Exomoon can handle water without the manufacturer saying so.
Discretion and advertised uses
Both brands are selling camouflage first and foremost. Lovense describes the Exomoon as a beauty accessory that goes unnoticed in a bag or pocket, and lists several uses: low-intensity nipple stimulation, gliding over the inner thighs, targeted clitoral stimulation, and use as a boost during intercourse. LELO plays the same travel-companion card, but steers the MIA 3 toward a more specific use: the tip was sculpted to target the clitoris, and the eight modes range, according to the brand, from a gentle whisper to a stronger pulse. The MIA 3 ships with a satin pouch and a lock mode designed for luggage. In short, the Exomoon is presented as versatile across the body, while the MIA 3 is presented as specialized on one zone with detailed travel packaging.
Where the MIA 3 does better
The MIA 3 has transparency on its side: LELO publishes dimensions, weight, battery life, charging time, frequency, advertised noise level, and auto shut-off, where the Exomoon page stays descriptive. Add to that a claimed full waterproofing, identified materials (ABS and body-safe silicone), a reference to the ISO 3533 standard, a travel lock, a satin pouch, and extended warranty coverage. For a purchase without a smartphone, for use in the shower, and with verifiable numbers on the spec sheet, it’s the more thoroughly documented of the two offerings.
Exomoon or MIA 3: which one to choose?
The Lovense Exomoon — Choose the Lovense Exomoon if Bluetooth connectivity and the prospect of app-based or remote control matter more to you than a detailed spec sheet, and if you want a versatile lipstick-shaped toy usable on several areas of the body.
The LELO MIA 3 — Choose the LELO MIA 3 if you want a standalone device, with no pairing required, with claimed full waterproofing, materials and battery life spelled out on the spec sheet, and a lock designed for travel.
Frequently asked questions
Can both of these vibrators be used in the shower?
LELO advertises the MIA 3 as 100% waterproof and explicitly presents it as suitable for the bath and shower. The Lovense Exomoon page mentions no waterproofing or protection rating: in the absence of information from the manufacturer, it’s best not to expose it to water and to stick to cleaning according to the instructions provided.
Which one can be controlled from a smartphone or by a partner remotely?
Lovense presents the Exomoon as a Bluetooth model and points to its app as well as its remote-control and long-distance play features. The LELO MIA 3 page mentions no connectivity: its controls are on the device itself, via two buttons and eight modes. On this criterion, only the Exomoon is advertised as connected.
How long does each one last on a single charge?
LELO states that the MIA 3 has a battery life of up to an hour and a half, a charging time of up to two hours, a 70 mAh Li-Ion battery, and a standby time of up to 90 days, with auto shut-off after twenty minutes. The Exomoon page gives no battery life or charging time: this data isn’t specified by Lovense, and we won’t estimate it.
